With no end in sight for the War on Terror, NBC News correspondant Tom Brokaw boldly travels from the frontlines of Afghanistan to the heart of CIA headquarters to find out just how much actual progress the United States military has truly made in making the world safe from the destructive impulses of Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaida in a sweeping documentary report that delves deeper into the complex nature of war than ever before. By interviewing American soldiers and key CIA strategists, Brokaw challenges the preconceived notions of what it means to be at war against an undefined enemy, and attempts to find out just what tactics can be taken when the conventional rules of combat fail to yield successful results.
